I am using a routine to find 50 random records in a large MySQL

why can't you use the where condition in the above query?
and then use MySQL's "in" command to find them. I can't
use "order by rand()" due to its performance hit.
But I have to take it one more step: I want to first limit my found set
to those matching a different search criteria, and then find 50 of those.
Anyone? Can this be done all within MySQL, or is it going to require
some humongo PHP arrays?
